Goto Sibling Script
Version: 1.11;
By: Sheeeple
Goes to the next/previous sibling of the current directory.
Because going 'up one level', pressing an arrow key and pressing enter is a pain in the ***.
Usage: Extract to <xyscripts> then map to the keyboard using UDC.
ex:
Alt+Up => load("GotoSibling", "sibling_prev");
Alt+Down => load("GotoSibling", "sibling_next");
Ctrl+Alt+Up => load("GotoSibling", "sibling_first");
Ctrl+Alt+Down => load("GotoSibling", "sibling_last");
Change log:
Code: Select all
1.11 Pause new thumbnail generation during script execution.
1.1 Wrap around instead of beep sound, added Goto First/Last sibling.
1.0 initial

Using the setting SC as `setting "CacheThumbsReadOnly", 1;` ought to have helped. But apparently this particular option toggle isn't registered properly unlike [most] other SC setting options.
Also, may I suggest a subtle statusbar message instead of beeping?
Quite useful little script by the way.

Thanks. I tried the statusbar message before but I can't get it to show up. I think its quickly overwritten by the "UDC: Run Script | <caption>" thing after the script ends. So I'm thinking of making it wrap around instead.

With
v17.00.0101, this should alleviate the delay due to thumbs creation at least.
Code: Select all
= FUNCTION Go($path = <curpath>, $direction = 1, $startAt = 0)
= {
+ setting "CacheThumbsReadOnly", 1; // pause new thumb gen before changing dir
= $sibling = GetValidSibling($path, $direction, $startAt);
Normal behavior returns after the script exits.
[ed. noticed script was updated.]

Thanks for the tip!
I'll update the script.
